Our Olive Cargo Shorts is made to order in Bangladesh for workwear brands, outdoor and leisure retailers, uniform suppliers and private label casual labels in the USA, the UK, Germany, Canada and Australia, and for growing programmes in France and Sweden. As a clothing manufacturer, supplier, wholesaler and exporter working from Bangladesh, we build this style to your size chart, your label and your packing spec, with a flat waistband, slant front pockets and bellows cargo pockets with buttoned flaps.
A cargo short is judged on its pockets and its waistband, so this style is patterned on a proven cargo block, sampled in the real cloth and checked against the size chart and the shade standard before a single bulk panel is cut. It is cut and sewn in our own unit, finished by hand and checked pair by pair before it is folded.
Buyers usually look at this style alongside the stone cargo shorts, khaki ripstop cargo shorts and the stone chino shorts. The full range sits on our products page.
- Bellows cargo pockets with buttoned flaps on both legs.
- Slant front pockets and a flat, even waistband.
- Garment washed cotton twill with a soft finish.
Olive Cargo Shorts: Design and Construction Detail
The olive cargo shorts are a classic six pocket build in a deep olive green: a flat waistband with belt loops and a button and zip fly, slant pockets at the front, and a bellows cargo pocket low on each leg, closed by a flap with a single button. The bellows pleat lets the pocket sit flat when it is empty and open out when it is filled.
A cargo short shows its faults at the pockets, so the two bellows pockets are measured from the side seam and the hem so they sit at one height on both legs, the flaps are stitched level and matched to their buttons, and every pocket corner is bartacked. The waistband is set flat with the loops spaced from the pattern, and the fly is checked open and closed on every pair.
Olive Cargo Shorts: Fabric, Fit and Comfort
The cloth is a mid weight cotton twill with a clear diagonal weave, garment washed so the olive shade lands soft and even and the hand feel is broken in from the first wear. The twill face stays even across the front, back and pocket panels cut side by side, and the shade is dyed to a standard held on file for the life of the programme.
The fit is a regular straight leg finishing around the knee, graded across the adult run on one block so the waist, pocket position and leg length grow in proportion at every size. Buyers running this olive beside the stone colourway of the same block share one size chart and one fit approval across both builds.
A cargo short earns its place in a summer range by being the pair a buyer reaches for every day, and buyers in France and Sweden run this olive build as their standing cargo short for exactly that reason. The shade standard, the pocket spec and the size chart are held together on one file, so the shorts a customer buys this season are the shorts he reorders next season. The twill keeps its even diagonal face wash after wash, the bellows pockets are measured on every pair, and every bartack is checked by hand before the shorts are folded into the pack.

Pattern Making and Size Grading
A good pair of Olive Cargo Shorts starts with the pattern and the pockets. The block is drafted to your size chart with the waist, rise and leg set first, the pocket positions are placed from the pattern, and the whole short is graded across the full size run so the waistband height and pocket width stay in proportion at every size. A pre-production sample is sewn first and checked flat, worn and measured, and small corrections are made before the bulk markers are laid.
Private Label and OEM Production
Private label is where this Olive Cargo Shorts becomes unmistakably yours. The woven main label sits at the back waist, size and care labels follow your market rules, and swing tags, stickers and polybag print carry your artwork. Pocket style, flap shape and leg length can all be set to your house pattern at the sampling stage, so bulk matches the approved sample exactly.
Bulk Production and Quality Control
Bulk production runs on a shade banded cutting spread, so the fronts, backs and pocket panels of one pair always come from the same cloth length. Each bundle passes through inline checks at the waistband, the fly and the pocket seams, and a final audit sample is measured against the size chart before cartons are sealed. Faulty pairs are pulled at the line, never packed and hoped for.
Fabric and GSM Options
The cloth story matters as much as the cut. This style uses cotton twill, and the same pattern can be sewn in a heavier canvas or a lighter poplin when your range needs a step across the season. Buyers in France and Sweden often take one block in two colourways as a core and a seasonal story, sharing a single size chart and fit approval across the whole order.
Print, Embroidery and Branding Methods
The olive cargo shorts takes branding the workwear way: a woven label at the back waist, an embroidered mark on a pocket flap where your design leaves room, and your artwork on the swing tag and polybag. Every branding element is sampled on the real garment first so placement and size are approved before bulk, and your labels and tags finish the private label build.
Packing, Dispatch and Lead Times
Finished shorts are pressed, folded and polybagged one piece per bag unless your spec says otherwise, and mixed size ratios can be packed against your list. Cartons are marked by size and colour with a packing list inside. Lead times are confirmed at order stage and held with weekly production updates until the goods leave Bangladesh.
Pricing and How to Get an Exact Quote
An exact quote needs four things: the fabric and weight, the pocket and flap work, the size ratio, and the delivery point. With those fixed, pricing is firm and itemised, covering cloth, trims, packing and finishing. Two builds of the same cargo short can price quite differently, so we always quote the build you approved, not a generic rate.
Why Buyers Choose Siatex Bangladesh
Buyers choose Siatex because the same factory team handles sampling, bulk and finishing under one roof in Bangladesh, and because the Olive Cargo Shorts they approve is the one that arrives. Programmes running into the USA, the UK, Germany, Canada and Australia are reordered season after season on that simple basis: honest fabric weights, measured samples and cartons that match the packing list.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many pockets do the olive cargo shorts have?
Six in the classic layout: two slant pockets at the front, two bellows cargo pockets with buttoned flaps on the legs, and two pockets at the back. Every pocket corner is bartacked and the flaps are set level.
Is the olive shade a dark green or a bright green?
It is a deep, earthy olive, the classic cargo shade, dyed to a held standard and garment washed so it lands soft and even. The colour you approve on the sample is the colour that arrives in bulk.
Can the olive cargo shorts be made with my own label?
Yes. Your woven main label sits at the back waist, size and care labels follow your market rules, and swing tags and polybag print carry your artwork, all sampled on the real garment before bulk.
What is the difference between the olive and the stone cargo shorts?
The construction is the same flat waistband block with slant front pockets and buttoned bellows pockets. The two pages cover the two colourways shown in the range, olive and stone khaki, each with its own shade standard held on file.
